Lyrics
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
When she was just a girl She expected the world But it flew away from her reach So she ran away in her sleep
And dreamed of para-para-paradise Para-para-paradise Para-para-paradise Every time she closed her eyes
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
When she was just a girl She expected the world But it flew away from her reach And the bullets catch in her teeth
Life goes on, it gets so heavy The wheel breaks the butterfly Every tear, a waterfall In the night, the stormy night, she'd close her eyes In the night, the stormy night, away she'd fly
And dream of para-para-paradise Para-para-paradise Para-para-paradise Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh She'd dream of para-para-paradise Para-para-paradise Para-para-paradise Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
So lying underneath those stormy skies She said, "Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, I know the sun must set to rise"
This could be para-para-paradise Para-para-paradise This could be para-para-paradise Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
This could be para-para-paradise Para-para-paradise This could be para-para-paradise Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
This could be para-para-paradise Para-para-paradise This could be para-para-paradise Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
